    What a HORRIFICALLY misleading headline.

    A) Water breaks aren’t banned, just no longer mandated under some local ordinances. Still mandated by federal law, in theory.

    B) The law hasn’t even gone into effect yet.

    C) The deaths referred to are not from lack of water. It even specifically suggests lack of air conditioning.
